Fulacht fia in Annahagh (monaghan By; Monaghan Par.)

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 04E1161). Two spreads of charcoal-rich clay and heat shattered stones were initially uncovered (Walsh 2005, 7-8). One spread (dims 3.25m x 9.25m; D 0.17m) contained a broken flint blade but did not seal any features. The second spread (dims 9m x 7.5m; D 0.15m) sealed two sub-rectangular pits (2.3m x 1.7m; D 0.25m) which represented the remains of troughs. Charcoal from the burnt stone fill of one of the troughs produced a C14 determination of 1690-1490 Cal. BC (Walsh 2009, 9-10). (Walsh F. 2007, 354) Date of revised upload: 5 December 2017
